Really Going to Die Inside This Hallucination
The rust spots then quickly crept up his fingers.
Soon, all the rust spots on the newcomer's body transferred to Xie Yu's hands.
"Captain Xie!"
The five still-conscious newcomers around, seeing this scene, couldn't help but shout out in concern.
Xie Yu looked at the rust spots that had almost covered his entire arm, a gentle and unhurried smile still on his lips, "It's alright, don't come any closer."
He could feel the rust spots constantly devouring his spiritual power, and then using his spiritual power as energy, they were rapidly multiplying themselves.
Eat, reproduce, divide, then eat again.
The more spiritual energy they devour, the more fragments they create.
Once these things have covered the entire body, it means that the spiritual energy of the body's owner has been completely drained.
What happens to a person who loses all their spiritual power?
The newcomer was fortunate because he had less mental energy, so the rust spots didn't multiply as quickly.
From this perspective, the stronger a person's mental strength, the more difficult it will be for them to deal with these rust spots.
However, Xie Yu did not have so many concerns.
He took the rust spots off the other newcomers and put them on himself.
The four newlyweds suddenly went limp and fell to the ground, but fortunately, the other five newlyweds each helped them up.
"Hey, wake up, Wang Yi."
"Xiao Yun!"
Several newcomers who knew them were calling out their names.
Unfortunately, the four people's eyes remained vacant, staring blankly into nothingness.
However, the rust spots no longer continuously drained their spiritual energy.
Even if they have been subjected to psychological attacks, they should be able to recover.
Mi Lan crouched at the edge of his own Ghost Domain. He looked at the separated rust spots, stretched out his finger, passed through the Ghost Domain, and then withdrew it.
Watching the little dogs, who seemed to have smelled the aroma of meat, running around and scurrying about, amused by him.
He laughed nonstop.
Lu Zhe watched his actions with trepidation.
My heart was in my throat.
After all, Mi Lan's fingers were too close to those rust spots!
Sometimes they're only a few millimeters away from touching it.
Cold sweat kept pouring down Lu Zhe's forehead.
If something happens to Senior Mi Lan, then every single person standing in his Ghost Domain will be doomed.
But he didn't dare to disturb Mi Lan's interest; otherwise, Mi Lan's toys might turn from those rust spots into himself.
Lu Zhe knew very well how to protect himself.
He absolutely had to avoid becoming Senior Mi Lan's toy—such a tragic thing.
Daoist: "How is it?"
Xie Yu used strange energy to suppress the rust spots, preventing them from spreading further onto his body.
Now, they've all been pressed down below the elbows.
"They are still absorbing my spiritual energy, but once they lost their living space, they stopped their reproductive behavior of splitting..." Xie Yu recounted what he had observed.
"How interesting~ Do they have thoughts?" Mi Lan rested her chin on her hand, looking at the rust spots outside the Ghost Domain, her eyes filled with eager anticipation.
Xie Yu frowned. "That's not all... Mental pollution? So that's how it is. That's why the newlyweds..."
He let out a muffled groan.
He then stood still and did not move.
The newcomers in his Ghost Domain were terrified, "Captain Xie!"
The Resentful Woman behind the Daoist tightened her arms around his neck, whispered something in Daoist ear, and then stood in front of Daoist, stretching out her hands as if to protect Daoist.
The Daoist touched the talisman covering his eyes, "I didn't expect Captain Xie to fall for it too. This is bad."
The other newcomers all looked very nervous.
"What should we do? Is there any chance that Captain Xie will wake up?"
"Look at the Ghost Domain, Ghost Domain's still there. Perhaps Captain Xie can hold it off?"
"Mental pollution? What kind of ability is that?"
Lu Zhe sighed and explained to the others, "Have you heard of the Kreece system?"
"Yes, it's that kind of mental pollution. Unlike fear or more direct mental attacks, mental pollution is closer to a kind of meme pollution, where the five senses are affected by some unknown substance."
"For example, in terms of hearing, you will continuously hear some unknown creatures whispering in your ear; visually, you will see some distorted, bizarre, and terrifying things constantly appearing before your eyes; in terms of smell, you will smell some damp, nauseating, and fishy odors; in terms of touch, you will feel something slippery and sticky enveloping you, and cold fingers gripping your ankles."
"It's as if you've come into contact with another world and seen some unimaginable things."
"You will remain trapped in this inexplicable fear; these things will haunt you until you can no longer bear it and suffer a mental breakdown."
Lu Zhe: "This is only the most basic form of mental pollution."
He looked at Captain Xie with a complicated expression, "But the most terrifying thing about the Kremlin is that the more they know and see, the closer they get to madness."
Those investigators, those ordinary people who come into contact with mystical knowledge, will eventually fall into an unsolvable madness.
However, the Contract Anomalist has made a pact with the supernatural, thus gaining powerful mental strength and abilities.
Perhaps, this could help avoid a mad ending?
However, the mental state of the Contract Anomalist was also not good. He had often heard about the Contract Anomalist at Headquarters going out of control. He really couldn't judge whether being mentally corrupted would aggravate the symptoms of losing control.
Therefore, he looked at Captain Xie with concern.
And firmly pulled away Mi Lan, who had been squatting there "teasing the dog".
Mi Lan had already lost control and gone on a rampage once. Although she has calmed down now, children are inherently unpredictable, and Mi Lan has always been willful.
Let's not pin our hopes on Mi Lan's self-control.
"Senior Mi Lan, please stay away from those rust spots." Lu Zhe fearlessly blocked Mi Lan's path.
The other newcomers all looked at him with admiration, never expecting Lu Zhe to have become so bold.
Those rust spots were merely a manifestation of that eerie power.
Through these rust spots, it can transmit spiritual pollution to everyone who comes into contact with them.
Xie Yu felt as if he were in the deep sea, surrounded by salty seawater, with immense pressure squeezing his body.
If an ordinary person were to enter, their internal organs would probably be crushed by the surrounding "seawater".
He felt his limbs being wrapped around something, with suction cups like thorns piercing his body and sucking his blood.
This is an illusion... Xie Yu told herself.
However, everything around them, and the realistic stinging sensation, made it impossible to dismiss it as an illusion.
If one remains immersed in this illusion, one might actually die within it.
